Making a good impression
The pressure was on.

Passing league isn’t Friday night football, but it helps
OAKDALE - It was an ideal way to start. Hayden Baldwin, who's likely going to be Pitman High's starting quarterback in the fall, made a perfect toss down the right sidelines. Dominick Walker was on the other end of the 40-yard pass, as he impressed everyone with his end-zone speed. Right behind Baldwin at the 50-yard line was coach Brandon Harris, who was expressionless. But his heart was probably doing gymnastics. This was what he ...

CCC title up for grabs
I didn't know what to expect out of this year's basketball season; before December I hadn't watched a high school basketball game for at least four years. I did know that Turlock and Pitman would be in constant competition with each other for bragging rights and that Turlock, as defending CCC champions, would be the team to beat. As I spoke with coaches from both teams before the season began, I got the ...
